The power of driving motor
Number of spindle speeds
Number of feeds, and Floor space required.
6). Whitworth quick return mechanism
The principle of whit worth quick return mechanism is shown in Fig. The essential features of the mechanism are bull
gear, driving plate and crank pin with slider. The bull gear receives its motion from pinion which is driven by an
electric motor. The points A and B represent the fixed centres of bull gear and driving plate (disc) respectively. The
crank pin and slider block rotates (about A) in a circular path. This causes the rotation of driving plate about the point
B. The pin on the disc also rotates about the point B. When the block is at E, the ram is at the maximum upward
www.madinpoly.com
position and when it is at F. the ram is at the maximum downward position. If the bull gear rotates at uniform speed in
anti-clockwise direction, the block rotates from E to F causing the downward stroke (cutting stroke) of the ram. When
the block moves from F to E the return (idle) stroke is completed in lesser time. Thus the quick return motion is
obtained. The length of stroke can be adjusted by altering the position of pin.
7).COMPARISON BETWEEN PLANER AND SHAPER
Planer and shaper are employed for machining flat surfaces. However, they differ in construction, operation and use.
1. In planer work reciprocates past the tool which is held stationary on cross rail whereas in shaper tool reciprocates
past the work which is held securely to the table.
2. The planer is particularly adapted to large work whereas shaper can be used only for small work.
3. On the planer the tool is fed into work; on the shaper the work is usually fed across the tool.
4 Setting of jobs on a planer table is difficulty than setting the jobs on shaper table.
5. Multiple tooling in a planer makes it possible to machine more than one surface together.
6. In planer the speed is constant throughout the cutting stroke.
7. Planer tools are heavier and stronger than the shaper tools.
8. Planers are costlier machines and occupy more floor space than shapers.

III. a). Iron carbon equilibrium diagram
Iron-carbon diagram is of great significant in modern engineering. In this diagram, temperature is plotted against
percentage of carbon. It indicates the phases present at different temperature and composition, and many properties of
steels and cast irons, as well as their micro structures, can be explained by its reference. The iron-carbon (cementite)
equilibrium diagram is illustrated in Fig. From the diagram it will be seen that pure iron melts at A (1539°C) and
www.madinpoly.com
melting point of cementite (6.67%C) is approximately 1560°C. The curve ABCD is the liquidus line and 'AHJECF' is
the solidus line of the system. Liquidus is a line on the diagram, defining the temperatures at which solidification
commences. Solidus is the corresponding line for temperatures at which solidification is just completed. The alloy
will be completely solid below the solidus line of the system. The regions between these two lines represent liquid and
solid phases. The temperatures at which the transformation in the solid state occurs are called critical points or, critical
temperatures. In the hypoeutectoid steel, line GS (A,) and PS (A,) represents the upper and lower critical points. The
line SE (A) and SK (A13) represents the upper and lower critical temperatures for hypereuctoid steel. The line (HJB)
of temperature of transformation of o-iron to Y-iron (austenite) is represented by A, in the alloys with less than 2%C,
the structure upon primary crystallisation is austenite (i.e., structure below NJE). An alloy with more than 2%C, the
structure is ledeburite plus excess austenite or cementite. The primary austenite and the austenite in the eutectic
mixture (ledeburite) contains maximum amount of carbon (2%) in the solution at the end of crystallisation. The
solution cannot retain such a large amount of carbon at lower temperature, and carbon precipitates from austenite on
cooling from 1130°C. At 723°C the austenite and the austenite in ledeburite contain 0.8%C, and pearlite
transformation takes place at that temperature. Therefore, ledeburite below 723°C is a mixture of cementite and
pearlite. The three horizontal lines in the diagram (HJB, ECF and PSK) indicate the three isothermal reactions
(Invariant reactions) at fixed composition and temperature.
III. b). TEMPERING:
Tempering is a process of heating hardened steel to a temperature below lower critical temperature,
followed by cooling.
Tempering renders the steel tough and ductile.
Purposes: As mentioned earlier, the hardening increases strength and hardness in steel, but decreases
ductility and toughness i.e., imparts brittleness. Thus the steel under hardened condition is rarely used and is
subsequently tempered to relieve brittleness.
The main purposes of tempering are:
(i) to reduce the thermal stresses,
(ii) to stabilise the structure of the metal
(iii) to reduce the brittleness, and
(iv) to increase the toughness and ductility.
www.madinpoly.com
The process involves heating the hardened steel below lower critical temperature, holding at this
temperature for sufficient time and slow cooling in air. The tempering temperature must not exceed the
critical point, as the steel would become austenite and the benefits of hardening treatment would be lost.
The temperatures are related to the function of components. Cutting tools are tempered between 230-330°C.
If greater ductility and toughness are required as in case of shafts and high strength bolts, the steel is
tempered at 300 C to 600°C.
AUSTEMPERING:
In austempering, the steel part is heated to hardening temperature range and then quenched down to a
temperature of 300°C. It is held there sufficient time to decompose austenite into Bainite, and then it is
cooled, at any rate, to room temperature. The hardness and strength of the austempered steels are about the
same as conventional hardened tempered steels, but ductility and impact strength are usually higher. This
method is applied for small size components, made of high carbon steel or low-alloy steel.
MARTEMPERING:
Martempering is the hardening process with minimum distortion and residual stress. The process consists of
heating the steel to the hardening temperature and then cooled suddenly (at above the critical rate of
cooling) down to a temperature just above temperature at which martensite formation begins and is nearly
equal to 240°C.It is held there sufficient time to equalise the temperature throughout the section. But the
time is too short to decompose austenite, at this temperature into Bainite. From above 240°C point it is
cooled in air. The martensitic transformation takes place under lower cooling rate and therefore the internal
stresses are reduced to greater extent. This method can be used for heavy sections and the pieces of irregular
shape.
IV. a).METHODS OF CASE-HARDENING :
A heat treatment process in which the composition of surface layers is altered to make it hard and wear resistance is
called case hardening.
Case hardening processes are classified as
1. Carburising
2. Nitriding
www.madinpoly.com
3. Cyaniding and Carbonitriding
CARBURISING:
Carburising consists of introducing carbon into surface of the steel; Curburising is most widely used for securing hard,
wear resistant surface and a tough core. In this process, low-carbon or high-carbon alloy steel is heated in contact with
carbonaceous material from which the steel absorbs carbon.
The two principal types of the processes are:
1. Solid (peak) Carburising and
2. Gas carburising.
NITRIDING:
Nitriding consists of introducing nitrogen into the surface of the steel. Nitriding is usually done at 500-600°C. Parts
(machined to accurate size and heat treated) are placed in a gas-tight chamber through which ammonia is allowed to
circulate. And the atomic nitrogen that forms diffuses into the steel surface. The atomic nitrogen combines with
elements in the steel to form nitrides. These give extreme hardness to the surface. The nitrided case is usually from
0.2 to 0.4 mm deep and no machining is done after nitriding.
The process is usually applied to medium carbon and alloy steels. Quenching is not required for development of
hardness and there for the parts do not tend to crack. Since the parts are slow cooled, no further heat treatment is
required. Nitriding increases the wear resistance, corrosion resistance and fatigue strength of the steel. Since nitriding
is done at low temperature it requires more time than gas carburising.
CYANIDING AND CARBONITRIDING:
Cyaniding is case hardening process in which both carbon and nitrogen are added to the surface layers of the steel.
The process is based on the decomposition of molten cyanides salts with the formation of free atoms of carbon and
nitrogen which diffuse into the surface .The steel to be case hardened is placed in the molten salt bath (maintained at
800°C to 900°C) consisting of about 40% sodium cyanide, with about 60% of barium carbonate and sodium chloride.
At this temperature the steel will absorb carbon and nitrogen from the bath. The usual depth of a cyanide case is about
0.1 to 0.3 mm.
Carbonitriding :Carbonitriding involves the addition of carbon and nitrogen (in a single operation) by heating the
steel in a gaseous mixture of ammonia and hydro-carbons. These processes increase the surface hardness, wear
www.madinpoly.com
resistance and fatigue limit. They are specially effective for medium and small parts, such as gears, pistons, pins,
small shafts, etc.
IV. b). VARIOUS STAGES OF MANUFACTURING:
In the PM process the following three steps are followed in sequence: mixing (blending), compacting, and
sintering.
Mixing: A homogeneous mixture of elemental metal powders or alloy powder is prepared. Depending
upon the need, powders of other alloys or lubricants maybe added.
Compacting: A controlled amount of the mixed powder is introduced into a precision die and then it is
pressed or compacted at a pressure in the range 100 MPa to 1000 MPa. The compacting pressure required
depends on the characteristics and shape of the particles, the method of mixing, and on the lubricant used.
This is generally done at room temperature. In doing so, the loose powder is consolidated and densified into
a shaped model. The model is generally called "green compact." As is comes out of the die, the compact has
the size and shape of the finished product. The strength of the compact is just sufficient for process handling
and transportation to the sintering-furnace.
Sintering: During this step, the green compact is heated in a protective atmosphere furnace to a suitable
temperature, which is below the melting point of the metal. Typical sintering atmospheres are endothermic
gas, exothermic gas, dissociated ammonia, hydrogen and nitrogen. Sintering temperature varies from metal
to metal; typically these are within 70 to 90% of the melting point of the metal or alloy.

1 Soluble Oils:
Soluble oils (or Emulsions) are water -based cutting fluids in which mineral oil is dispersed in the form of
fine droplets by emulsifier (soap). Water has excellent cooling properties and the oil provides lubrication
and corrosion resistance Oil and water are mixed in different ratio to get desired heat transfer and
lubrication.
2 Straight Oils:
The straight oil may be a mineral oil with suitable viscosity or fatty oil blends (Lard oils). The main
advantage of mineral oil over soluble oil is its improved lubricating properties, but the lubricating film is
maintained only at low pressure. Fatty oils are used in combination with mineral oils. This blend possesses
an excellent lubricating and cooling effects and is chemically inactive.
3 Chemical-Additive Oils :
The additives such as sulphur and chlorine are used to increase both the lubricating and cooling qualities of
oils, Sulphur and chlorine also give the oil extreme pressure (E.P) capabilities which enables it to continue
working under the most arduous conditions..
4. Chemical Compounds:
Rust inhibitor such as sodium nitrate is mixed with high percentage of water to obtain chemical compounds.
These serves as an excellent coolants without rusting the work and machine surfaces. Chemical compounds
are particularly useful in grinding.
5. Solid Lubricants:
www.madinpoly.com
Solid lubricants such as stick waxes or bar soaps are sometimes used for lubricating cutting tool. The
application of solid lubricants increases the tool life and gives smoother cuts.

and8.Rests
Lathe centers: Lathe centers are hardened steel devices used for holding and locating the work to be turned between
centers. They are provided with a standard taper shank on one end and a 60° point at the other end. The centers are
hardened and tempered to withstand wear and to provide strength. Taper shanks fit the taper holes in the head stock
and tailstock spindles. The centre that is fitted in the headstock spindle is called live center. It revolves with the work.
The centre that is used in tailstock spindle is called dead centre. It does not revolve with work.
www.madinpoly.com
Drive plate and carriers; Drive plate is a slotted circular plate attached to lathe spindle. The drive-plate is used to
drive a work piece with the help of carriers (dogs). A lathe dog or carrier is securely clamped to the work piece and its
bent tail fits into one of the slots in the face of the plate. Thus the rotation of drive plate (catch plate or dog plate) is
transferred to work piece through dog.

operation, axis of cutter is parallel to the surface being machined and the work is fed against the rotating cutter.
2. Straddle milling: Straddle milling is used for machining two or more vertical/parallel surfaces simultaneously
by mounting required number of cutters on to the arbor. Straddle milling has many useful applications in machining.
Parallel slots of equal depth can be milled by using straddle milling cutters.
VIII. b). Shank - It is an extension provided along the axis of the cutter for holding and driving.
Cutting edge - Edge formed by the face and the circular land or the surface which is forming the primary clearance.
Face - The surface adjacent to the cutting edge on which the chip impinges as it is cut from the work.
Gash- Gash or flute is the chip space between the back of one tooth and the face of the next tooth.
Fillet-The curved surface which joins the face of one tooth to the back of the tooth immediately ahead.
Land - The part of the back of the tooth which is adjacent to cutting edge.
Lip angle - Included angle between the land and the face of tooth is called lip angle.
Primary clearance : It is the angle between land surface or a line passing through land and a tangent to the periphery
at the cutting edge. For the most of the cutters the clearance of 5° is provided.
www.madinpoly.com
Secondary clearance (relief) angle: To control the land width, a secondary clearance is ground on the tooth. It is the
angle between back of teeth and a line passing through land. it is usually 3° greater than primary clearance angle.
Radial rake angle: The angle between face of the cutter and a radial line passing through the tooth of cutting edge. It
facilitates removal of chips. The radial rake angle usually ranges from 10° to 20°. Larger angles are adopted for
milling soft materials and smaller angles for harder material. Carbide tipped cutters are provided with a negative rake
angle which varies from 10° to 15°.
Helix angle: The angle between the tangent to helical cutting edge and the axis of cylindrical cutter (or l ine parallel to

5. Cutting slots, grooves and key ways
Horizontal cutting:
www.madinpoly.com
For horizontal surfaces the clapper box, is centered on the tool slide. The feed is provided by movement of worktable
during each return (idle) stroke of the ram and tool. The worktable is stationary during the forward (cutting) stroke.
The depth of cut is set by the down feed hand wheel.
Vertical cutting :
To shape a vertical surface, the clapper is swiveled so as to prevent the cutting tool from dragging along and scoring
the machined surface during the return stroke. For vertical surfaces the feed is provided manually by the down feed
hand wheel, and the worktable is adjusted by hand to control the depth of cut.
IX. b).
The crank and slotted lever mechanism is shown in Fig, and its main features are driving gear (bull gear) and slotted
link (rocker arm). An electric motor drives the bull gear by means of a pinion through a gear box. A crank pin which
is fastened to the bull gear moves a sliding block which is located in a slot of slotted link. One end of slotted link is
www.madinpoly.com
pivoted at the bottom, and other end is connected to the ram. The up and down movement of slider causes the slotted
lever to oscillate about its pivot as the bull gear rotates. Thus the oscillating motion of slotted lever imparts a
reciprocating motion to the ram. Crank and slotted lever mechanism enables the ram to move faster during return
(idle) stroke than during forward (cutting) stroke.
